Hey guys I need to know if anyone knows of a shop that can give my car an alignment. The problem is that I just got coils and the car is too low to go on the machine for the shop near me. Anyone know anywhere that can get my car up there and do an alignment near Natick (Where Glenn lives) ?

 

hey Eric

not too far from you - i would also ask the shop right beside your office as i bet they see a lot of dropped cars

 

Eric, that one guy in TownFair is actually very capable. Very detailed and would bust his balls and then some to get the setting right. Can't speak for the others in the shop but that one guy (forgot his name) that you spoke w/ yourself gets

 

Ben were they able to get your car on the alignment machine even though it was lowered ? They said they couldnt get my car on because it was too low and on to of that all of the old workers who i was friendly with dont work there anymore..

 

That's too bad, Eric. A shop is only as good as its mechanics. I don't reemember if mine was only lowered by .75" (HR springs) or 1.5" (Tein coils) at the time, but I they didn't have any trouble getting it on the machine.

Maybe you can find out where that guy might have gone from one of his buddies at Town Fair. He spent over an hour to try to get the spec right (despite you know what) on my car w/ all his might. He even told his buddies to balance my wheels (freebie) while I waited. He's one of those "car guys" that actually care about cars.

 

Unfortunately its as been says, only as good as its mechanics.
and the equipment they are using
town fair in danvers did mine (freebie with tire purchase)
and the tech worked on it for quite a while and told me it couldn't be set to stock, it seemd odd, but I had had a small accident, so maybe something was bent. folowed up the next day with the very reputable bodyshop that did the original repair, they threw it on there machine, the settings were nowhere near what the other machine claimed, and they had no problem setting the alignment.
when i originallly left town fair, they specifically said "take it back(to the original shop), and if there is no damage and they can align it, we'll pay for it".
never happend, submitted recipts and alignemt reports multiple times, to the same guy who told me thay would pay.
"you should have a check in the mail soon"
"let me fax that ovver again, you should have a check in the mail soon"
eventually i gave up, I paid for my own alignment oh well.
